AN: Theres more :)
With Rose
"What was all that about?" Jen asked innocently. Rose liked Jen, she wasn't conniving like Slytherines were supposed to be. She was genuinely nice, and she made Albus happy. But she also knew how to study, not that she didn't know how to have a good time as well, Rose had spent afternoons studying in the library with her around, and that night seen her surrounded by people, laughing and joking.
Since Jen and Albus had started dating, she and Rose had become friends, although when Jen was with Albus, she did tend to get wrapped up in him. So of course, since they had been at the party together, she didn't know about either Carmen or Rose's night.
Carmen started, "Well, you saw that all of us were playing truth or dare right?" Jen nodded, but it was obvious that she didn't know anything else, "Liam had a little too much fun daring us to do things."
The three of them were quiet for a moment as they passed some first years. There was no point in ruining the 11 year olds' innocence. The reached the washroom and continued talking.
"I danced around shirtless apparently, but thats not the worst, I feel bad for Rose." Carmen smiled sadly to herself.
"Why?" Jen asked, but Rose remained silent, after a long pause, she spoke.
"Scorpius and I had to snog, and I have no idea if he remembers," Rose blurted out, "But I remember, and he told me that I was good at snogging, and then he ignored me the rest of the night."
"He didn't ignore you when you fell asleep on him. Cam said that he was stroking your hair." Carmen fluffed her hair in the mirror, referring to her twin brother.
"What?" Rose's voice had risen three octaves at least, and she seemed to have forgotten that she was still pumping soap into her hand, "I fell asleep on him?"
"Your twin was there when you stripped? How is that not awkward, Carmen?" Jen was obviously thinking more logically.
"He came after the game was over, you know my brother, show up late and leave early, the goody two shoes," Carmen shook her head, obviously not understanding her brother, "Rose, don't worry. You were both really drunk, he can't possibly remember that. Although even if he does, he was the one stroking your hair."
Jen calmly took the soap dispenser from Rose, placing it on the counter. Rose looked down at the mound of soap in her hand, seemingly unaware of how it had gotten there. She finished washing her hands; the other two remained silent.
"Rose, if you want, I can find out if he remembers." Jen smiled at Rose hopefully.
"Thanks Jen, but I'm not sure if I want to know anymore. Lets just pretend none of this ever happened." Rose smiled cheerily, and the other two put on their own fake smiles.
Joking, they made their way back to the cabin, real smiles replacing the fake cheery ones.
With Scorpius
"So, how was your time at the party, Al?" Scorpius grinned at his best friend, knowing full well that Albus had spent the night with Jen. Albus blushed a deep red, and smiled faintly.
"A gentleman never kisses and tells. I saw you playing truth or dare though. Did you have a good time with that?" Albus deflected the question quickly.
"Malfoy definitely had a good time playing truth or dare. All thanks to your cousin, actually." Liam jumped in, unable to keep quiet now that Rose wasn't there to stop him.
"What happened in that game of truth or dare? Liam, if you did anything to Rose like you did to Carmen–" Al glared at Liam, ready to defend his cousin's honour.
"It was nothing Al. Liam just dared Rose and I to snog." Scorpius cast a death glare at Liam, Before smiling at Albus.
"Oh. Okay." Albus sat back in his seat. Scorpius was about to say that no it was not in fact okay, because he had no idea how he felt about the red haired girl, who was certainly good at snogging. But he knew that liking Rose would be stupid, he had known her forever, and he thought of her as a sister, much like how Albus thought of her. So, he kept his mouth shut, pushing back the thoughts of his tongue in her mouth.
"I thought a gentleman never kisses and tells. Malfoy, you just told." Liam threw in cheerfully.
"I never was a gentleman, Thomas," Scorpius grinned, "Not that you would know anything about being a gentleman."
"What are you implying, Malfoy? We all know that you come from a line of blonde ferrets, so you can't talk about my gentlemanlyness," Liam raised his eyebrows, "At least someone gets my jokes." The last part was directed at Albus, who seemed unable to stop laughing at the mention of ferrets.
"Shut it, Potter," Scorpius elbowed Al in the side. There was a sharp intake of breath before Albus continued laughing more quietly. "But, if you are too dense to know what I meant, Thomas, I was talking about your... situation when Carmen took off her shirt. Asking for a pillow was rather obvious."
"Why were you looking at my crotch, Malfoy? I didn't think you rolled that way. Not with the amount of girlfriends you've had," Liam smirked at Scorpius. His only response to Scorpius' glare was a shocked expression, "Hold it right there, mate. That's not a bad thing, I just want to clarify that I don't feel that way about you."
Albus was full out guffawing now, although he had moved a safe distance away from Scorpius.
"No, we all know that the only person you feel that way about is Carmen." Scorpius remarked cooly, smiling crookedly.
"You little..." Liam seemed at a loss for a word that was bad enough to describe Scorpius, "ferret."
At that point the three girls walked in to find a chortling Albus, and a disgruntled Liam and Scorpius.
Carmen was at Liam's side immediately, patting him on the head sympathetically, "Have Albus and Scorpy been making fun of you?" Her voice was so condescending that Rose was surprised Liam didn't almost nothing to react.
"I'm fine, now sit down, will you? I don't like a midget being taller than me." He smiled up at her, and she put on a show of being upset before sitting next to him.
Jen had gone to sit next to Albus, and Rose found herself tempted to strike up a conversation with Scorpius. She swallowed the instinct, knowing that she would only make a fool of herself. She sat down, determinedly avoiding looking at Scorpius.
If Rose had been looking at Scorpius, she would have noticed that he couldn't seem to stop glancing at her, a confused expression on his face.
AN: So yeah, slight development, just you know, going slow. This one really does go slowly, I wanted it to be that way cause most of my other stories go really fast... I really hope you like it though, I'm really proud of this one :) Review if you like :)
